The Birder Permit season is now open for 2026 for Nonquon lagoons. Please apply at: https://www.municipal311.ca/en-US/interaction-type-deflection/?id=109a7d15-d40b-ef11-9f89-0022486d6739. Once you fill out the form the Region will contact you re payment and issuance of the permit. It's a simple process now and can be done online/with a follow-up phone call from the Region. Durham advises that the fee has not changed and is still at $16.00 ... Please remember that all persons entering the lagoon need their own permit - no sharing is permitted. -- Thank you, Geoff
